I knew that if I didn't elaborate I would get this response. First off, I said it's beginning to, as in it's about to have a lack of Slendy. With the next (unknown amount) videos, the focus is going to most likely not be on Slenderman. You know, the man who's running the show. It makes it kinda frustrating when your antagonist seems to care more about throwing around some people who worship him, but he doesn't have enough time to even go to kill the main character.

tl;dr: The show is going to start shifting focus from Slendy for a long amount of time for Firebrand and The Observer. I like the characters, but I require more feel of the threat of an unkillable being's presence.

Ok, I see your point; BUT at the same time you can't tell FOR SURE what the next videos will entail. Hell, maybe the Observer will get demoted because of his slip-up with Firebrand. Maybe Noah will die in like a month from something stupid like food poisoning. Maybe Slendy will dance the Macarena in a thong for all we know...

But on a more focused note, Slenderman has been a constant presence in this series. Every power the observer has is given to him by Slenderman. Every plan the Observer has is made by Slenderman. The Observer is just a playing piece in Slendy's big game with Noah; a game in which he can't just kill him. True, the Observer has been getting a LOT of screen time, but you can still feel that presence of something other-worldly. Slendy was even mentioned in this video as the "Administrator."

Secondly, I like Tribetwelve for it's story and it's characters too, I just don't care as much if Adam wants to try something new and refreshing in an increasingly staling environment that's the Slenderverse these days, even if that includes shifting some focus away from Slendy himself. Hell, I applaud it!

I think it's evident that either Noah, or Milo, or both, are already part of the collective in one way or another. Interesting take on where it's going. It seems like all the major Slender Man ARGs are taking very different routes from one another, which is really enjoyable.

Ok. . .why the shit am I not up to date on this fucking series?Like shit like this I fucking live for. Like wow this was. . .really really fucking amazing. I wish I kept up to date with Tribe Twelve Like I used to and maybe I should.

i've heard a lot about noah and firebrand being the same person, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. first of all, firebrand's hair resembles milo's far more than it resembles noah's. For example, look at noah from the front in pretty much any frontal shot that exists of him, his hair is usually messy looking, but nothing really sticks out to me. the first thing i noticed when i saw firebrand was that his hair is flat and shows his ears and somewhat flares out at the back. In any video appearance, Milo's hair was always tucked back and I don't believe noah shows his ears.

Secondly, the facial proportions. Milo's face was skinnier and longer, and just the way it looks to me, firebrand's resembles that far more.

it just seems obvious to me that Milo is firebrand/vice versa. He had Slendy and the Observer pining for him as well, and when he dies his body suddenly disappears? And the observer is conveniently there to videotape the foam from the pills he overdosed on coming out of his mouth? C'mon guys, it's so obvious.

At first I was all aboard with the "Noah from the future" idea, but really, if there's multiple timelines and dimensions... See the observer said some things that back up this new idea i've had:

He says "He has torn a hole in this dimension, its ruining everything"- Observer admitted to aiding in milo's suicide somehow, possibly because he posed a problem to The Collective, as did his mother Mary

- This could mean when firebrand says "Milo will bring you the journal, ill make sure of it" it could mean a Milo from a timeline/dimension where he didnt die. Also reffering to milo like this supports the theory of milo being Firebrand, because kevin/observer are clearly separate entities.

- In fact, the first thing he says is "I can talk to you in this moment of clarity" as if he is breaking free of some kind of indoctrination the Collective has on its members; Much like when Kevin wrote on the back of the card "kill me, etc"

This explains why Firebrand attacked Noah earlier and is helping him now, at least that makes sense to me. Thoughts?

Well, I am not sure what to think, as whenever I make a decision, it gets toppled over.

I like the idea of Milo being Firebrand, and while (to my knowledge) Noah hasn't really talked about Liam in the canon of the videos (except in the livestreams/Formspring) that seems like it could be an interesting outcome. As for Noah is Firebrand theory, I don't like it as much, but it makes sense to me. Plus, in "November 11th," when he's in his car talking about how he might be insane, he smiles with the top half of his teeth, like Firebrand does, and the distortion during that moment makes me think that was subliminal confirmation of that theory.

Well, it could also be Milo from the past, before he died. Which means that Milo knew what was going down during the last visit. Not that he didn't have enough to worry about at the time.

What confuses me is why Firebrand is Helping Noah NOW. Last Nov. 11 he captured Noah! And why is The operator (Slender man) even allowing him to help Noah? If the Observer is really angry with this, why shouldn't Slender man be? He is not allowing him to really some messages, yes, but why is he even letting him send the message? Maybe the footage Noah got will be of SOME use.

Its control might not be complete, or maybe it is alien enough that it doesn't really understand what Firebrand was saying beyond recognizing certain key words.

Though it's possible in-universe that Milo is Firebrand, based on Adam's tumblr post I'm going to have to argue that Firebrand is someone else. Of course, the other footage of Milo that might be uploaded in the future could be of Firebrand... >_>

With that being said, Adam also says that the 'white' chess pieces are the human characters, while the 'pure' (I guess?) Collective members are black pieces, like the Observer and Deadhead.

I feel kinda bad for Adam. It must be hard to have someone play a pretty big part in a project, and then all of the plans disintegrate. Anyway, I'm pretty confident that Kyle (Milo) will have no part in the plot anymore. Although, his character still might be mentioned a few times.

One of the fortunes "It is not he who commits the sin to blame, but he who causes the darkness" or something like that, which I believe is a reference to Kat's murder. Noah isn't to blame for that - the Observer and the rest of the Collective did that.

Also, I believe we're being intentionally led away from Firebrand's true identity. I've seen Adam post numerous times that he likes to lead people in the wrong direction, so with his hints that Firebrand might be Noah (like the "Fight Club" comment on his Formspring), I'm thinking that it's someone else. I'm not sure who, but this kid called Liam, the one they made the playground after, MIGHT be him.

I've also seen a theory about Noah being Mr. Scars, too, and... I'd believe that, actually. It'd be a twist.

I'm trying to think of even more 'big' revelations that there might be, and I'm thinking that Edward O'Conner (the guy who checked out the Device) is probably another one. I could be wrong, of course, but his father's name was (possibly) on the Manifest - maybe the Collective is using him/his family.

In that same regard, I think we'll be seeing Henka Visae, too, or at least some passing reference to him. If the Observer wasn't speaking to the Dark Harvest guys directly with his "Who is Henka Visae?" frame at the end of the Order video... Hmm. Well, I think the guy (apparently he was a senior member of the Order who inducted Mary) will make an appearance.

That's all I've thought of for right now.

EDIT:

Welp. Looks like our thirty minute video is coming up tonight.

"I managed to fix all of my rendering problems. It's a Christmas Miracle. If this video compiles successfully, it will be up tonight at 9pm."
